We just got back from Punta Cana where I had big plans to surf again, 10 minutes of boogie boarding to warming up and I was toast.

I forgot we had the best surf instructor in Hawaii last time. He didn't speak much English but was the paddle boarding champion for that year. My girlfriend and I paddled out with him for the first set, he would get you setup for the wave, then give you a "push" to get going, all you had to do was stand and ride. The he'd follow us in on the next wave, showing off of course. Then paddle to my girlfriend and grab her board with his foot then drag her along scooping me up along the way with the other foot and tow both of back the start...

The guy was is awesome shape, fast enough to tow 2 of us faster than most single surfers...

You got that right. Been on the water the last 3 or 4 days. I finally managed to last an hour and a half without spittin up a lung. Today I caught consistent waves right up to shore, about 30 or 40 yards. Let me tell you it's a LONG paddle back out to where they're starting to break. But you just want to go back out after you catch a ride that long. Ribs still hurt a bit from paddling out.
